LEGO® IDEAS THE STARRY NIGHT SET – PRESS RELEASE

REIMAGINE VINCENT VAN GOGH’S ICONIC PAINTING WITH THE NEW LEGO IDEAS STARRY NIGHT SET

17th May, 2022: In tribute to Vincent van Gogh’s famous painting, the LEGO Group has revealed the LEGO® Ideas The Starry Night set. This beautiful set was designed by Truman Cheng, a 25-year old Hong Kong based LEGO fan, through a submission on the LEGO Ideas platform, and has been created in conjunction with The Museum of Modern Art in New York.

The three-dimensional set reimagines Vincent van Gogh’s renowned 1889 painting in LEGO form, with strong emphasis on the artist’s striking brush strokes and colour choice. Inspired by the view from his window at the Monastery of Saint-Paul de Mausole asylum in Saint-Rémy, France, where the artist spent twelve months, The Starry Night is one of the world’s most well-known post-impressionist works and has been a visitor favourite at MoMA since it first arrived in 1935.

LEGO Not Part of Star Wars Celebration Exhibitor Shopping Selection

May 16, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

Last week we reported that LEGO will be having an exclusive set at Star Wars Celebration but it’s confusing on what has transpired since then. The Virtual Panel and Exhibitor Shopping lottery went up today and I noticed that LEGO wasn’t part of the list anymore.

A reader who is going gave us a snippet of their conversation with customer service and it was noted that LEGO is exhibiting but was not part of the lottery exclusives. The wording of the description has also removed LEGO from the list which went up last week.

If you saw last week, another reader was able to get into some lottery for the LEGO BrickHeadz Obi-Wan Kenobi & Darth Vader (40547) when everything badges went live so I’m not really sure what’s going on there. I’m not going to Star Wars Celebration but if you can still see the BrickHeadz lottery, let us know. Was the LEGO lottery different than today’s lottery? It supposedly ends on May 20 at 12am CDT.

LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533) Review

May 15, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

The promotion for the LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533) is now live on the LEGO Shop and here’s a quick review of the set. It has 203 pieces and you can get it with purchases of $160 or more until May 30, while supplies last.

The minifigure is a kid with a Galaxy Explorer shirt. He does have a double-sided head with a large smile on one side and a nervous expression on the other. He does wear a brown helmet.

There are two parts to the build. The first is a teddy bear mech that uses red and blue roller skates. The arms are carrying a ray gun and a whisk with some umbrellas in the back of the mech.

The main build is a section of the bedroom which has the cardboard rocket. The rocket actually looks really nice but it does have some stickers to give it more detailing. The side flaps uses a new piece that looks like a flap from a box. There are two seats in the rocket, one for the kid and one for the cat.

On the floor next to it, there are some additional accessories like a scissor, some green paint, some green army men, and a flag at the corner showing the Space Command Center (493).

Overall, the LEGO Ideas Cosmic Cardboard Adventures (40533) is a very nice promo set but the threshold to get it is a little high. Again, you can get it from now until May 30 with a $160 purchase.
